Cleaning engine with CD2
Just bought some of this CD2 stuff from Halfrauds to clean my engine bay (as I'm going to be selling the car 
) and was just wondering whether this process of cleaning is going to leave a 'orrible slimy oily mess all over my nice driveway(s) (if I do it on driveway 1, then that's a light coloured gravel, driveway 2 is nice new tarmac - with a couple of trolley jack dents in it 
)

I would definately put something under the car to catch all the oil and stuff. I did my MY03 and although it wasn't very dirty it still left a bit of a mess on the road outside our house 
It specifically tells you not to do it on a tarmac drive on the can aswell.
